I also had a crash. What happened: biters attacked, destroyed a turret, i was running over and the game crashed.
Inspecting the stack trace makes it seem like it is the same issue.

If I try out your blueprints the display is flickering on and of every tick.

Edit: Nvm I just can't read instructions.

Real random number generators are going to be hard (only source of randomness is the player's actions, (and maybe the biters) and you obviously don't want to actually DO something yourself to get random numbers).

This leaves pseudo random number generators (PRNG). They generate numbers that aren't ...

Thanks for the quick fix!

I sent you a direct message with my findings. If you need more information, just send me a message .

It works by using a const combinator emitting "magic numbers" which are the decimal representations of two's complement numbers:

***0123456789*******************
0: 00101000000001000000000000000000 -> 671350784
1: 00101001000001000000000000000000 -> 688128000
2: 00100000000001000000000000000000 ...

Right, i'll post my blueprint as well, although it uses a few more combinators than their designs.

I have found a bug, where if you load a malicious blueprint string, it can crash your game. I'm assuming it's not a good idea to explain the steps in how this works here, but I don't have enough posts to do direct messages. (This is one less I need :) )

Is there a better way than to make more posts ...

After playing the 3.5 version for a while (we're suddenly getting attacked everywhere, our current defenses weren't nearly enough!), I got the following error:
Error on tick "__Misanthrope__/libs/region/biter_scents.lua:126 attemt to index field 'values' (a nil value)"
